Elsevier's Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Science and Techniques Materia Medica

This second volume of the Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Science and Techniques presents the equivalents in six languages of substances of vegetal and animal origin which enter into the composition of drugs for human and animal consumption. The work comprises a basic table of the terms and their synonyms in English, arranged alphabetically, followed by their translations in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Latin. This arrangement facilitates a most convenient reference system for scientific researchers and translators. The incorporation of the terms in Latin will be particularly useful for those working in countries where scientific terminology is predominantly in this language. Although the dictionary does not aim to be exhaustive, it will prove a valuable tool for scientific researchers and translators involved in the field of pharmaceutical science.Sliosberg, A. is the author of 'Elsevier's Dictionary of Pharmaceutical Science and Techniques Materia Medica' with ISBN 9780444416643 and ISBN 0444416641.
